So, while I’m still dipping into Gwent when I feel like it, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my Final Fantasy XV replay, getting ready for the upcoming fight against the Hydrean, which is always a highlight. Also, I’ve been enjoying some of the other new stuff added, even if a lot of it isn’t too crazy.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Update: Last week, I was worried about slow progress recruiting other students to the Black Eagles class. In the past week, I added about a half-dozen new students...and most of the school staff. Unfortunately, the new kids are way behind my students in their actual classwork.  (Though it did…

Im mostly playing Destiny 2, but I am considering picking up Disco Elysium. Anyone have any thoughts on that one? It’s getting rave reviews for the most part, but Eurogamer’s review highlighted a lot of fears I have about it.

So Mario Kart Tour has been the latest high school fad of late. As a teacher, I’ve had to quash quite a few games in class. It seems to have a short shelf life, though. Now that the novelty’s worn off, I don’t see it nearly as often. That’s for the better, I think, since parents are probably still paying for Fortnite s…

I played a solid bit of MK world tour and yeah it’s pretty ok. Not great but two lap races make it perfect waiting room material. Anyway, I got back into Earth Defense Force 4.1 this week and I'll probably try to finish every mission this weekend. I didn't know there were like 60 missions and the game gets insanely…

Sibling’s visiting this weekend, so might finally get Silent Hill 3 finished (putting us halfway through our slow playthrough of the series).

Finished off Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, which was tremendous fun. This is easily the most playable of the series so far, though as always with MGS games there’s this weird dichotomy between how mega elite the protagonist is supposed to be and how incompetent I am as a player. So despite several attempts, I only m…

That’s a really great point. I don’t want to see the Goose get smacked around either (if it were a Canadian Goose though hmm.... tough call). Having Goose as an Assist Trophy would bring the best of both worlds to the Smash platform without upsetting the tone and fun of either works. The Goose definitely works best in…

Salutations~!

I saw Disco Elysium (PC, just released) get a couple of really good reviews, and I took a flyer on it. An isometric RPG, with classic a very classic D&D-style story with chance rolls. I’m only a few hours deep into the game, but the story (a murder mystery), is really interesting and the depth of world building and…

With last week’s horrible tyfoon (I wasn’t near Tokyo so it was pretty mild here thankfully), I mostly spent the three-day weekend gaming and doing household tasks. A friend and I bought Remnant From The Ashes and we got waaay into it. It’s always easier to get into a game when you’re doing co-op but that’s giving…

I don’t think this is the first article I’ve seen on Killer Queen. I’m curious, as I am with any video games that are getting significant buzz. I understand that it’s a phenomenon in places that get nice things. We do not get nice things. Instead, we got a a power outage this week.

The weekend is here and boy has it been a week.

Hello all! This week a new game has been selected for the bro game revue club. Of the nominations, 4 of the 5 games were spoopy. And what does RNG pick for the month of October?

I'll be playing GRID, the reboot of the racing franchise from back in...2007? The original is my favorite racing game ever, and the reviews are that this new one is a return to form. I'm excited to try it after work.

I impulsively bought AI: The Somnium Files last weekend and haven’t been able to put it down since. Just wow. It’s something else. I knew basically what I’d be getting into from the Zero Escape games but I wasn’t expecting this to be as enthralling as it is. Also the voice acting and localization is top notch. It’s a…

This week, I have been mostly been a horrible goose.

Due to work and other commitments (so many goddamned airport taxi runs) I had very little gaming time. Fortunately, Untitled Goose Game is short enough to scratch the itch. I still haven’t actually finished it, but I did clear out the shopkeeper’s area and had a…

I’m once again slowly working my way through Hollow Knight. After some stress and strain, I finally beat the Mantis Lords, so now I get to travel through the confusing maze of tunnels that is DeepNest. I also beat the Broken Vessel and now the Forgotten Crossroads is a lot more...explodey. I may have crossed some plot…

I beat Crying Suns last night. By the end, I feel I’d more or less mastered the main systems of the game and would generally get a reasonably successful run so long as I met one particular start condition. So, I was ready for it to end. I’m glad it ended when it did, and I was fully satisfied by where they took the…

Killer Queen Black sounds like such a cool game to try out with friends. 8 would be difficult but a solid 4 to 6 people should be possible if I ever get the chance.
